"Mere delicacies, daring to deliver yourselves to my doorstep!"

Su Yuan smirked disdainfully. The Crayfish he just ate tasted quite good, and with so many Crayfish before him, he could eat his fill again.

Su Yuan opened his mouth, and eight tentacles swept around. The river water surged, stirring up countless Crayfish, and the mud at the bottom of the river scattered.

The moment the tentacles slammed down, even with the resistance of the river water, they caused the death of countless Crayfish. The powerful force, like a descending waterfall, shattered their carapaces.

Su Yuan's abyssal maw opened, swallowing countless Crayfish in one gulp.

"You have devoured a Procambarus clarkii, gaining 1 evolution points."

"You have devoured a Procambarus clarkii, gaining 1.1 evolution points."

"You have devoured a Procambarus clarkii, gaining 0.9 evolution points."

...Su Yuan devoured frantically, and the System's notifications sounded densely, his evolution points rapidly increasing.

However, the number of Crayfish in the surroundings was also terrifying, completely occupying a section of the water. Other creatures in this area were pitifully few, especially at the riverbed, where there were almost no other creatures besides Crayfish.

Under Su Yuan's frenzied devouring, the surrounding Crayfish did not show any noticeable decrease.

These Crayfish were fiery red all over, like a blazing fire, covering this section of the riverbed and submerging Su Yuan.

They frantically gnawed at Su Yuan, and their Claws fiercely clamped down on Su Yuan's body.

If it were another creature, even an alligator, it would not be able to withstand such an attack and would be disemboweled.

However, for Su Yuan now, these attacks were simply too weak; they couldn't break through his defense at all.

But so many Crayfish gnawing on him made him feel a bit itchy.

As Su Yuan's eight tentacles coiled and wrapped, countless Crayfish burst apart, their blood staining the river water blue.

With a fierce inhale from Su Yuan's large mouth, he could swallow a large number of Crayfish, thoroughly disrupting the river water.

Countless Crayfish rushed towards Su Yuan one after another, like moths to a flame, extremely frantic.

"As expected of an invasive species, their numbers are astonishing. I haven't encountered such a large group with Tilapia or Suckerfish, and this fearless attitude is also very familiar."

Su Yuan devoured for a while, and his evolution points had already risen to over six thousand, yet the surrounding Crayfish showed no sign of decreasing, still completely covering him.

Su Yuan wanted to observe the surroundings, suspecting that there might also be a special Crayfish here, similar to the large Tilapia he had encountered before.

However, at this moment, even the area around his eyelids was covered by Crayfish, making it impossible to see the outside world.

"All of you, scram!"

Su Yuan's entire body trembled, sending countless Crayfish flying, their carapaces shattered, and blood splattered across the riverbed.

These Crayfish were truly too frantic, and they made his body itch a bit.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Crayfish hadn't swarmed him again, Su Yuan's gaze swept the surroundings but found no clues.

There were simply too many Crayfish in the surroundings, completely obscuring the scenery of the riverbed. If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they wouldn't need saving.

"It's already dark. I won't play with you anymore. Tomorrow, you will all become my evolution points."

Su Yuan noticed the dark night sky above the river, with a bright moon hanging high, casting down moonlight.

Having always maintained the same routine as when he was human, he prepared to rest on time. Devouring so many Crayfish would take a considerable amount of time.

After a final glance at the surrounding Crayfish, Su Yuan burst forth with extreme speed, traversing the Crayfish swarm and easily leaving.

It wasn't until he had traveled nearly a thousand meters that the creatures in the river gradually became more numerous.

Suckerfish, Tilapia, Crucian Carp, Grass Carp, Silver Carp, Bighead Carp, Black Carp, Carp, and various other fish species were distributed throughout the river, each one incredibly plump.

Because Su Yuan was swimming in his disguised form, these fish didn't notice anything unusual. Suddenly, a fat Grass Carp was startled, pulled away by something, and then disappeared into a suddenly appearing abyssal maw.

"You have devoured a Grass Carp, gaining 10 evolution points."

Su Yuan casually caught a large Grass Carp, devoured it, and then randomly chose a spot on the riverbed to rest.

This section of the water was completely disturbed. Countless creatures were terrified by Su Yuan's sudden appearance and fled frantically, which also created a quiet resting environment for Su Yuan.

Time slowly passed, the bright moon receded, and a scorching fireball emerged from the distant horizon, casting morning light and dyeing the entire sky red.

When the first ray of sunlight fell, shining on Su Yuan, he woke up, and his entire body's condition had returned to perfect.

"It's morning again. I can begin today's devouring and evolution."

Su Yuan looked around. After a night's time, the surroundings had long returned to their normal state, with many fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Especially the Suckerfish, there were quite a few, with some even clinging to Su Yuan's body.

Su Yuan's tentacles suddenly moved, instantly grabbing the Suckerfish on his body. This terrifying scene greatly alarmed the surrounding fish schools.

Some Suckerfish had even evolved teeth and tried to bite Su Yuan, but in the next moment, terrifying Claws extended, piercing through their bodies.

"You have devoured a Suckerfish, gaining 0.8 evolution points."

"You have devoured a Suckerfish, gaining 0.9 evolution points."

..."This river is still a bit narrow. With my size, if I weren't an octopus, it would be difficult to move around here."

Su Yuan looked at his body, which almost filled the banks, and shook his head slightly: "I won't think about these things. Evolution is important. My future can only be the ocean."

Su Yuan opened his abyssal maw, his eight tentacles having already caught many creatures, including native species like Silver Carp.

Soon, the creatures here were completely devoured by Su Yuan, and the others that weren't caught also fled.

This was Su Yuan's deterrent power at this moment; once he appeared, he could cause a section of the water to fall silent.

Su Yuan didn't pursue them, because the Crayfish swarm from last night wouldn't flee. Compared to the Crayfish swarm, these fleeing fish and shrimp were just a drop in the ocean.

Today, he planned to devour all the Crayfish there. He estimated that the evolution points might be tens of thousands! Enough for more than two evolutions!

While thinking, Su Yuan's body transformed, becoming elongated, to avoid rubbing against the riverbanks, and began to advance towards the Crayfish swarm.

Of course, the disguised state was activated, because Su Yuan found civilian houses nearby, and he guessed that this place should be located within a small town or village.

At Su Yuan's current speed, he quickly reached the vicinity where he encountered the Crayfish swarm last night.

"What is this?"

Su Yuan frowned slightly, seeing many people on the riverbank.

He saw a group of people on the riverbank pulling a dragnet ashore, and inside the dragnet, many Crayfish were struggling.

"Holy crap, are these still Crayfish? They're so big, I think they should be called giant lobsters!"

The people pulling in the net were also shocked; such Crayfish were unprecedented.

"I told you all, your Sixth Uncle here once fished up a Crayfish. After taking it back and cooking it, the taste was simply amazing!"

An old man of fifty or sixty, sitting on a bluestone, holding a fan, said with a rather smug expression.

"As expected of Sixth Uncle, our village is blessed today! So many large Crayfish, and so many of them. Selling these will bring in a lot of money!"

"Quick, quick, hurry and catch them! Achong, have you contacted the buyer?"

Everyone looked excitedly at the Crayfish in the net, conservatively estimating that this one net contained dozens of Crayfish!
